路Hello all!
I'm new here and basically quite newbie what comes towards watches. Got this Omega Speedmaster as a inheritance from my father and I'm trying to solve out what I actually got here. I've searched quite a many places and also interested to learn about these Speemaster watches and I hope you could help me further and I'm willing to discuss everything about this watch. I can take more photos if something particular is interesting about the watch.
Here are my findings and thoughts so far:
- Back cover stamp 145.012 -67 and the serial number 2500XXXX matches, also has caliber 321 movement.
- Bezel is maybe wrong for this version, this is supposedly the DN90 bezel, because the dot is next to number 90. It should be DO90 bezel accodring to Speedmaster101.
- The chronograph hand is wrong and this is supposedly the "Lollipop" hand that belongs to much older version of Speedmaster. Little bit detached material from the ring.
- The pistons are 5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height so maybe also wrong kind of. Speedmaster101 says that should be 5 x 3.5 mm and these 5 x 3mm are for older model.
- Bracelet says 1171/1 and it's maybe a service bracelet. The links are 633.
So most definitely there are several things that doesn't match and I'm quite sure my father has serviced this watch at some point, maybe several times and maybe these parts was changed then. Some kind of Frankenstein monster in the making, I suppose, although the watch is in decent shape overall 馃榾
